Welcome!

The Ignatian Spiritual Life Center's mission is to mobilize God's people to love the world.

Grounded in Catholic Social Teaching and energized by Ignatian Spirituality, we offer people the resources they need to nurture their relationship with God, as well as the concrete opportunities to live out what this relationship demands: a fierce and uncompromising love of the world. Our deepest desire is to help make God's dream for creation a reality.

​We stand for love of God, justice and mercy for all people, patience and kindness in relationships, courage in our work, and dignity and right treatment of all creation.

ABOUT USA ministry of St. Agnes Parish in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, the Ignatian Spiritual Life Center has a three council structure that discerns the programming we need to live an Ignatian life of devotion and service. Our areas of focus are Church Justice, Global Justice and Spiritual Life. Each council offers programming aimed at mobilizing the larger community to love the world the way God intends. Programming includes adult education and faith formation, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, spiritual direction, opportunities for prayer and retreat, and an ongoing commitment to dialogue and service in our Church and world.
